Shlomo Leib Brevda (1931 – January 2013) was an American-born rabbi, inspirational Torah leader and mashpia who authored numerous books. He joined the Mir Yeshiva following its escape from the Holocaust and became a disciple of Rabbi Chatzkel Levenstein, the yeshiva's mashgiach ruchani.{{cite book |author=Rabbi Nachman Seltzer |first= |author-link=Nachman Seltzer |title=Class Acts 2 |year=2015 |isbn=978-1-4226-1663-5 |page=153}} In the 1950s he moved to Israel.
